À propos de Masashi Kaijin -
Le cœur de la lame est fait d'acier VS1 trempé revêtu d'acier inoxydable plus souple. Grâce à un processus de traitement thermique spécial, Masashi-san peut rendre le VS1 incroyablement dur, lui conférant un maintien du tranchant comparable à celui de l'acier au carbone haut de gamme. Il aiguise les lames d'une manière unique, rendant l'extrémité arrière plus robuste pour hacher et la pointe plus précise pour les travaux délicats.
L'apparence texturée du Kaijin donne son nom, qui se traduit par "cendre" et fait référence au processus de forgeage traditionnel utilisé par Masashi. Normalement, les forgerons doivent surchauffer le couteau pour obtenir ce type de finition, ce qui peut altérer la qualité du couteau, mais Masashi-san est capable de le faire d'une manière contrôlée et à basse température qui n'affecte pas l'acier.
D'abord formé avec son frère à Yoshikane, puis s'étant lancé seul, Masashi Yamamoto poursuit sans relâche la création d'un couteau parfait en utilisant les techniques traditionnelles transmises dans sa famille et augmentées par une compréhension moderne de la métallurgie. C'est aussi un dur à cuire certifié, forgeant en tongs et allumant des cigarettes sur de l'acier rougeoyant comme un héros de film d'action des années 80.
À propos de la forme -C'est le couteau idéal pour les petites tâches effectuées sur une planche à découper ou en main. Parfait pour trancher les échalotes, couper les herbes et désosser les petites protéines. De plus, les couteaux Petty sont un outil indispensable pour ceux qui ne se sentent pas à l'aise avec un grand couteau de chef.

"This 135mm Petty Kaijin is a work of art by Masashi. I feel blessed to get one. Every aspect of the knife is executed flawlessly. I love the blade's ash finish, taper and handle. I use it very often. It is incredibly sharp and slices any vegetable as thin as I want. Really great communication and fast shipping."
"It's my first Masashi and I'm very impressed by the VS1. It's very sharp out of the box, doesn't dull easily and it's easy to manipulate. Perfect for both light vegetable work and meat."
"Second Japanese kitchen knife, first Musashi blade. Sold out in January, I was miffed at myself. Called the store when social media said they were getting more. The nice lady who picked up the phone confirmed the 135mm petty was in the shipment. So I raided the knife fund. The whole thing is a work of art. The variegated chestnut handle has an almost holographic effect, set off from the blade by the dark collar. The blade itself reflects light in different ways, depending on which part of the surface you look at. As for how it handles, this has become my new favorite for daily things. The balance is just behind the heel of the blade, forward of the collar, perfect for a totally neutral pinch grip. Even if that weren't the case, the kaijin finish provides a positive purchase on the blade that sticks to your fingers without being tacky. A higher grip to peel or lower grip all on the handle, it's like a good twig, it'll do what I ask no problem. The edge is sharp enough to shave-my arm, that is-no irritation whatsoever. I delight in being able to be ever more precise the more I use it. It'll go through an apple as if the skin weren't even there. I've cut slices so thin they're translucent and quite flexible, so garnish work'll be a breeze. Excised the occasional brown spot with the tip as if it was a craft knife. Took on a wedge of Toscano cheese almost perfectly. Small hesitation on the rind, but not enough to deflect the edge. The rest was taken care of with no more than a couple dozen cracker sized cuts. There's been a slight patina developing between the hamon line and the kaijin finish, that has more to do with me not wiping it off for a half hour or so, it's a slight greyish darkening, only visible directly overhead. Only problem, I now have to save up for that matching gyuto and honesuki."
"This is my first Japanese style knife and I’m hopeful that many more are to come! I bought it in-store in Vancouver and had an amazing experience the staff showed me options, and gave advice, but let me make be decision for myself - it was great! This knife is crazy sharp and comfortable to use. Would recommend!"
"Awesome knife! Not only it's the sharpest knife i own but look how good it look! Perfect size for small job on the cutting board but also great in the hand! The wood of the handle is gorgeous and the blade sharpness is perfect out of the box. VS1 semi-stainless steel doesn't rust/patina easily compared to more traditional carbon steels. Now i need more Masashi Kaijin knives!"
"Great knife really nice handle very light very sharp looks great does a great job at any thing I have put to it so far good size it’s more than just a knife more like a pice of art has maintained an edge cleans up well so far no issues at all would highly recommend"
"This little beauty is a go to knife that my wife really enjoys! Its the go to knife as she has small hands and it fits perfectly. The Nakiri, and the Santoku are also used reguallrly"
"Absolutely perfect, exceptionally light and such a comfortable handle."
"This knife is probably the sharpest knife I have ever gotten out of the box. Super thin and the perfect size for multiple jobs. The beautiful handle and blade are just the perfect wrapping for a precision tool."
"This talented Japanese artists makes not only a perfect blade for the kitchen but, with such beauty in its handling and presentation (dress on the blade)."
